Church of St. Theresa, Vilnius

#6 of 42 in Historic Sites in Vilnius
Church Tourist Spot
The somewhat plain exterior of Church of St. Theresa belies the splendor of what's inside. Built by the Discalced Carmelite order in the 17th century, the church is one of the earliest Baroque buildings in Lithuania; its grand construction, using very expensive materials, is atypical for the monastic association. Today's interior was created by a local artist during the second half of the 18th century and links with the famous Gates of Dawn chapel. Inside the building, you can learn more about the church's namesake, St. Theresa, by studying the brightly colored frescoes that illustrate her life. Spend time admiring the high altar; it is considered one of the finest in the nation. Put Church of St. Theresa at the forefront of your travel plans using our Vilnius trip planner.

    I loved this quiet church with a pink décor. Remaining open during the Soviet period, it is with the door of the Dawn a symbol of Lithuanian resistance to Soviet atheism.

    Must-see along with St. Peter's Church for me the most beautiful in the city, there is a corridor through which you can climb to the chapel of the virgin above the entrance door to the city

  • By Iryna Khomenko
    This catholic cathedral is very beautiful. It is situated in Old Vilnius downtown near the Gate of Down (Sharp Gate). There are a lot of historical places around this cathedral. Also you can go from here to the Chapel of Vilnius Madonna. It is an outstanding place of pilgrimage.

    Church and connected to it 'gates of dawn' is famous place with miraculous painting worshiped by many pilgrims. Painting is surrounded with silver pendants sacrificed by cured and healed people.

    Magnificent interior. Make sure to pay a visit inside when you are near the gate of dawns. Also from the right side there is the connection directly to the chapel above the gate of dawns.
